Appl. No.:

7/135582

Inventors:

David K. Walz - Stone Mountain GA

International Classification:

A61L 912

US Classification:

422123

Abstract:

Odor control product dispenser includes a cabinet having a removable front cover for directly accessing both an upper fan compartment and a lower product compartment from the front. A fan in the fan compartment draws air in through a fan shroud surrounding the fan and directs the air downwardly into the product compartment for flow across an exposed surface of the odor control product in the second compartment and subsequent discharge through air vents in the front and sides of the cabinet. The odor control product is contained in a well in one end of a disposable container. Within the well are a plurality of circumferentially spaced pinwheel type baffles that increase the turbulence of the air flowing across the product as the product evaporates to accelerate the rate of evaporation as the product loses its potency (effectiveness) with age. Also, the product shrinks away from the baffles to increase the surface area of the product exposed to the air and thus the rate of evaporation of the product as the effectiveness of the product diminishes. In the end of the container opposite the well is a battery compartment containing a battery which provides the power source for driving the fan motor.
